Nature
Good Gracious!
From Pictures of the Floating World (1919): Planes of Personality
Nature
They say there is a fairy in every streak'd tulip.
I have rows and rows of them beside my door.
Hoop-la! Come out, Brownie,
And I will give you an emerald ear-ring!
You had better come out,
For to-morrow may be stormy,
And I could never bring myself to part with my emerald ear-rings
Unless there was a moon.
